EL: West Ham Utd 2-0 Rapid Wien (30/09/21)

[zilzal]

Great result tonight, second half i thought we lacked cohesion and we were outpassed a lot of the time.. Right hand side looked a bit suspect and Johnson for me looked very nervy on this night.

Onwards and upwards though

[S-H]

Carlton Cole : "Nobes they are gonna name this stand after you"
Mark Noble : "I thought they'd already named it after you, Carlton"
Joe Cole: " No that's the fire exit out the back"

Loved that!

Highlight of the season for me.

Good atmosphere in the bowl tonight - enjoyed that.

Made hard work of it second half. Dawson immense and helped settle any nerves.

Was watching Vlasic closely. He works hard and showed some good moments but not quite on the same wavelength as the rest of the team yet. I think he’ll get there - give him time.

Fornals showed what we’d been missing when he came on. Love the bloke!

Fornals has been a revelation since Moyse got hold of him.

Fornals has been a revelation since Moyse got hold of him.

And looked like Vlasic did first few games.

[Morocco Mole]

Fornals is Bernardo Silva. Already. And he keeps getting a little bit better game by game by game.

[OFT]

Fornals has been a revelation since Moyse got hold of him.

He has, fantastic player the human dynamo.

Moyes does have the a knack of getting the best out of the lads it seems.

[StokeIrons]

More positive in the first half, needed the "penalty" to wake us up in the second. Fornals looked hungry and confident. Still need to find an understudy to Iron Mike (January window?)

Got tickets for the Genk game next month, so another 2-0 would do nicely.

[simonirons]

I could listen to Carlton and Nobes call each other “Geez” all night long.

The Cole brothers are BT Sports power couple

[old fart]

I know he had little to do but Areola was a lot calmer this evening, probably 1st night nerves last time out.

We need Benrahma to teach Bowen about composure

[Vic_Watson]

Loved that!

Highlight of the season for me.

Hilarious interview. Can't think of any other club who could manage something like that.

[Morocco Mole]

Joe Cole has completed punditry. Quality player, quality bloke.

[Georgee Paris]

Highlight of the evening for me was the water bucket getting launched from the away end. :lol:

[Tezza65]

Thought Dawson and Diop were excellent.

We were ok in the first half,but absolutely dreadful in the 2nd half attack wise.

Enter Fornals and we are a different team.He changed the dynamics straight away.

[Chicken Run Supreme]

Meanwhile Harry Kane and friends are playing with glue,glitter and safety scissors in the conference league but still make headlines on the BBC

Long may it continue, let us go about our game quietly under the radar devoid of expectations.

Great win tonight.

We really are quite good

[e17]

Decent crowd and atmosphere over there tonight. Odd game in that felt like we didn’t play for large spells and yet could have won by 3 or 4.

[roblo]

Great night! Superb touch and assist from Antonio in what was otherwise a quite poor display. Nothing stuck to him. First 25 mins of second half was very flat. Strange how expectations have quickly change, but thought they looked poor first half and we should've picked them apart. Maybe a bit of fatigue creeping in?

From where we were could see **** flying between the away end and the corner. What started that? Seemed to go on throughout the match. Sure to be pretty lively when we go over there next month!

[Ironing Board]

Decent crowd and atmosphere over there tonight. Odd game in that felt like we didn’t play for large spells and yet could have won by 3 or 4.

Sign of a good side that. Wonder if we can get better than Moyes' old Everton team? Seem to have a bit more flair about us.

[roblo]

Could do without the light show at the start.

[Southminster Hammer]

Special underdog mention for Ben Johnson, thought he had an excellent game. Onwards and upwards ⚒⚒⚒
